Finn is seeming more and more adventurous when we are out and about or in larger group situations. This week he wanted to walk down the stairs by himself while we were watching the Clippers play at Huntington Park.  He’s really cute about it as he regularly turns around to see how far away he is and he will usually say a thing or two. But he ends up going a bit further each time.  This game he had a pretzel as his “special treat” and he devoured that thing! We stopped after swim lessons to watch some loaders, dump trucks, and bull dozers up close and personal. Finn thought it was great and loved just watching the construction workers operate the machinery. One of them even waved to Griffin, which he thought was so neat.  Finn also helped me pick a bunch of things this week from the garden. We had a nice variety of Kaleidoscope carrots (long and colorful) and Short & Sweet carrots (the stubby orange ones) along with a handful of onions and tomatoes. They are so pretty and colorful but I’ve yet to make anything with them. I’m thinking I’ll make a beef stew 🙂  We have been regularly eating the cucumbers we’ve harvested each week.
